Jack Lightfall looked up ate the giant deep blue swirling portal, that he and his classmates were about to enter. After humans sent explorations into the depths of the sea deeper than ever before, they discovered the "Oceans Boon", that after you turn 18, you can claim a for you generated plot of land in the sea, where you can resources like Ores, farm and fish, with results straight out of fantasy. But you got one chance: If your island was taken by monsters, or you leave it for too long, it will be destroyed - with no way to get it back.Every year many people tried their luck, but only about 0,1% make it past the Novice stage, because if your not from a wealthy family that could hire you mercenaries and give you high-ranking seeds to start earning money, you where basically screwed. But there were people who made it anyway, and those are the mayor drive for so many people to try. Jack was no different-when his parents failed to succeed , they were in mayor dept because they had borrowed money for deep-sea resources in hopes to make it big. "I will show everyone, that i am different - the others at school, who bullied me because of that, and my parents, who gave their last pennie to buy some F - Ranked for me", Jack thought. Most of the higher-ranked seeds were controlled by big companys or wealthy families, so they stay in that position of power, and so even low ranked seeds cost a fortune. He looked up, and saw that the portal has been opened by security, and righted the bag on his shoulders where his seeds and some beginner tools were kept. He encouraged himself and stepped forward, but when he wanted cross the portal, a hand held him painfully at the shoulder. "Yo, Jack, still trying to die like the loser you are?" snorted Carter behind him. His cronies, who followed him everywhere as if they were little ducklings imprinted on him, laughed like it was the greatest joke of all time. Carter Captiva, from the Captiva family, who controlled most of the deep-sea plots, was a douchebag straight out of a manga. He was the one who made it popular to make fun of Jake because of his parents dept and their failure. "If you don't want to end up like your parents, maybe if you lick may shoe I'll share some of my resources with you"Jack smirked. "If you want to indulge in your weird fetishes, maybe Dumb and Dumber can help you" Clearly not expecting such a retort, Carter clenched his fist "I'll make sure that you don't succeed" Jake just ignored him and stepped into the portal, unimpeded this time. After he stepped through, he noticed that he was underwater, and panicked. But then he remembered that the owner can breathe freely on his island. He looked around and took in the sights. His plot was compromised from a circular ring out of blue-grey earth, surrounded by a bubble that kept him and his island alive. But as he was about to open the Island Owners Newcomer Forum, a blue screen appeared in front of him

[Abyss System online..Generating land...adding "Endless Dark Abyss"]

"What?"

A giant cloud of dark energy formed above the center of the island, then coesclated into a fist. Jake cursed and jumped back, before the fist came crashing down and threw energy and dust into the air. When the air became clear again, a giant, seemingly endless hole was in dead center of the island.

[The Abyss of the Sea has been built. You will receive Boons while you progress. The first Boon has been released. Do you want to receive it now?]

Jake stared frozen at the prompt, then, steeling himself, pressed the yes button because while the hell not.

[You have received the First Boon. The Tree of Life (Sapling) has been added to your island]

From the dark abyss, a glowing seed came floating up, and from it sprang roots that grew into the hole

[You have unlocked Life Energy,Growth Value]

[Growth Value is produced by every plant, and is used to tier up the Tree of Life. The higher tier the Tree, the faster plants grow and the higher the chance of Growth promotion]

[Current: F to E:100%, E to D:0%, etc.]

[Life Energy is currently only used for healing the Host and the Tree, but will unlock more uses at higher tier of the Tree]

Jack stared slack-jawed at the prompts before him.Growth promotion is one of the only way to get high-tier seeds and plants, and because many plants take months or even years to grow, the Growth speed is also very important.

He shook himself out of his stupor, and decided to check out the forum before focusing on anything else
